Eran, I loved having you grow up in my studio. It would not have been complete without your encouraging, inspiring presence.

Creative disorder! The sexy chaos we all wallow in whenever we can! The dance of art and life! Yum!

Lori,
I loved growing up with your studio! It was a sacred room in the house. A place of quiet and colored pencils. You layering and erasing, mixing and blending shades of light.

Nemo, I will look forward to reading your blog about pencils. There could be a whole blog universe just about pencils. And tubes of paint. Etc!
Michael, Your layering onto my thinking was a great addition. I plan on diving into it again once or twice to savor the ideas you bring to the mix.

Lori,
The photos of your “layers of creativity” are beautiful works of art in themselves.

I agree, when inspired artistic passion flows organizing everything into neat stacks does not need to be a first priority. Reminds me of WC Fields opening his bank office roll top desk to a pile of “organized confusion” and, on request, reached in the pile and precisely pull out the customers form, knowing exactly where everything was.

The excitement of going through forgotten or older pieces of art is stellar, seeing and feeling from a “now” perception is always a huge move forward.

Lori, after seeing your work for many years (around 10 years) I want to tell you that you absolutely have a recognizable beautiful “Style of your own”, one of the highest goals that an artist tries to achieve.
Michael

I suspected I was not alone in my appreciation of the interplay between order and disorder. It is inherent in all aspects of life. Lately I have become more conscious of its syncopated rhythms and better able to let go and enjoy the dance.

Yes, this is a respectful way of describing piles and the activity of creative minds.

I relate to many piles myself and have numerous ideas tucked away waiting for finishing touches or resolution.

When the time is right I find the bits and pieces and things fall into place with unexpected ease.

I love this, Lori.

I love simplicity, clarity, and organization.

And I am a piler at heart. Things stack up and interact with each other both in my art work and my writing and teaching.

I love the tension between the periodic organizational binges and the composting!
